Wndows 7 starting: Takes much time!

My windows operating system is not working properly. It's taking too much time to start. Sometime, after starting, internet connection isn't being connected. After restarting PC it connects. Sometimes, after starting PC, a message shows that the windows wasn't shut down properly. Then some options come i.e. "Start windows normally" and so on. After pressing 'Enter' it starts. Why all these occurring?
Please give me the solution.

As my PC is taking too much time for getting started, it has now also taking a long time to shut down as well. It’s quite annoying to watch “windows is shutting down” for a long time. Whats the problem with my PC? Any help will be useful for me.

I’m having a problem with my pen drive too. It is, sometimes when I try to bring out my Pen drive manually (by clicking on the icon and then by clicking on “eject the device”), it says that this device cann’t be removed, it is using by the system… etc.
So, I’m wondering why this is occurring? Any solution? Thanks in advance.

Check Startup Apps

You may have too many apps starting with windows in the background, and each of these apps need to shut down. It seems that any app you install automatically want to load at startup, which just is not practical. Use an app such as What's In Startup to see what is starting and to disable or delete un-needed apps. (scroll down the web site a ways to download) As an example I only have 4 apps starting:

Most of the apps do not need to start, Adobe and Java like to add startups as do Office (all versions) and most others. The only apps I have starting are my AV/AM (MSE) an app to help control Windows Firewall, my touchpad app (laptop, appoint) and an app to allow me to text through my Blackberry from my PC. That's it. My startup and shutdown times are very nice.

Sorry to go off topic, but you have intrigued me. What is the name of this app and where may I find it? I would LOVE to be able to text looking at my 24" monitor rather than my 2" Blackberry screen! My eyes just ain't what they used to be, and what a pleasure that would be! Thanks in advance.

The app is Blurts Pro by MLH Software. The cost is $5.99. I use the latest version 2.0.0.11 You have to download to your Blackberry (Go directly to the web site from your Blackberry to download to the Blackberry) then download to your PC.BlurtsPro.jpg
